I am really terrified. I was going out with this guy for almost two years and after I lost my virginity to him he left me just to find out four months later that I am pregnant. Now I am five months and I am so scared and I need to tell my mom. But she is one of those really strict mothers and I have no one near were I live. I don't know what to do. And i fear of doing something stupid. IP: Logged |

Something along the lines of, "Mom, I'm pregnant, and I'm afraid, and I need your help" might work. She may be shocked at first, but I'm willing to bet that her natural Momma Bear Instinct to help and protect you will kick in once she gets the news. Good luck to you, and let us know how it all turns out. ------------------ IP: Logged |

i had a hard time telling my mom i was pregnant with my first child because she thought that i was a virgin still. i did tell her when i was a little more than two months though because i wanted the baby to be healthy and taken care of. yeah she was mad, hurt confused, and we fought alot. after i hit about five months she got interested and very excited. she started buying stuff for my baby and planning alot of stuff for him. it turned out ok and i was glad i told her. it took alot of courage to tell her and i was scared to death but everything worked out fine. i think that you should tell your mom for your sake and your babys. it is waht is best for you both. it will probably be hard at first but it will turn out ok. have faith in your mom.

Man, I still remember the day I told my parents I was pregnant, and that was over 2 years ago. My mom was always one of those mom's who said "if any of you girls get pregnant I will kill you" and that is a quote! She was VERY against pregnancy before mariage. I just sorta came out and said "lisen, I am pregnant, it obviously wasn't planned, but it happened". I still remember the tone in my father's voice when he told my brother to leave the room, I thought I was in for it! But as it turns out they were the most supportive people. I really regret not going to them earlier. My mom even brought up abortion. I was undecided at the time what to do. I did get some pressure from my mom about what I was gonna do, when I hadn't made up my mind after a few weeks, and more pressure to tell people, but other wise they were very surprisingly great! I nearly peed my pants I was so afraid to tell them, so I know what you are feeling. So many teen moms I have talked to have said the same thing. They were scared crapless to tell their parents, but once they did, their parents ended up being their best allies. I am sure it will be the same for you. Plus you will feel better getting it off your chest. Wait for a quiet moment, take a deep breath and tell her. It will all work out in the end. Good luck IP: Logged |

i'm sure that however strict your mum seems, she wont hate her own daughter or turn her back on you at the time when you need her most. if she loves you, she'll be there for you whatever happens x IP: Logged |

Yeah, I went through something similar. My mom found out by me going to the doctor for an x-ray. My mom surprised me by being so good about the whole thing. She was not mad, just disappointed. She went through the same thing when she was my age. That was surprising to me. IP: Logged |

froggygirl14233, you are now in need of prenatal care so everything develops normally. Your parents have to be informed now. Would you prefer that they find out by accident or from a third party? ------------------ - Albert Einstein IP: Logged |
